This may or may not be the answer you are looking for... but is the content of your panel laid out using constraints or absolute values? If you do it with constraints, then your content should get resized when the scrollbar appears. Then again, this may be the inverse of what you are trying to do, and it may cause labels or text to get truncated.
Is there a reason that you cannot make the panel wide enough to accomodate your content and scroll bar both, then if the scroll bar doesn't show up then it will just be a little more padding to the right. It seems like if you were to resize the panel dynamically with a scroll event then it might "jump around" which may not be the desired effect. If you can post code I'd be happy to take a look, I've done a lot of tweaking layouts with lots of scrollbars lately! HTH Rachel On 2/1/07, nwebb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I'm sure this is excruciatingly simple but i couldn't find an answer (I must be searching with the wrong keywords). I have a Panel. Inside it is a Text component, and a Repeater underneath that (...repeating a CheckBox) . All works fine. I want to set the "maxHeight" of the Panel to 200px, so that if I get too many Checkboxes appearing, my content will scroll vertically. When I set maxHeight, I get *both* horizontal and vertical scrollbars appearing - the horizontal scrollbar only appears because the width of the vertical scrollbar eats in to the Panel width - therefore I get horizontal scrolling of about 16 pixels. If I set horizontalScrollbarPolicy to false then my content is still clipped. I'm sure I can muster a workaround easily enough (e.g. manually resize Panel based on ScrollEvent etc), but I thought there surely must be something in-built and neater, already in place to deal with this kind of scenario? Any help much appreciated.
